- 45pts vs the Sonics including 12 threes: "Threemendous".
The three point shot was not Kobe's best weapon entering the 2003 season.
When he gained some weight in the offseason, P.Jackson told the journalists he would be better behind the three point line.
But Kobe struggled in the 1st months of the season, especially when he was 0/8, twice.
And then, here came the Sonics in town. Kobe had a quiet opening quarter, scoring 4pts. But when he made 6 straight threes in the last 6 minutes of the half, we knew something was different. Especially when he connected on 6 more after that.
Kobe made 2 NBA records that night(9 straight threes and 12 overall). From this game to, Kobe started hitting threes in a Kobe way fashion - fadeways threes, 4 feet behind the arc - and it seems that he'll never stop - Sport
Yeah, Kobe's the most skilled offensive player EVER! No doubt.
remember the story of robert horry about kobe in his rookie season. that dude couldnt hit the 3 ball to save his life and everyday he would join the vets in a 3 point contest right from training camp. and everyday he would lose badly. and one day he came up to robert horry and the other vets and asked to play again: this time he managed to win the contest. in the middle of the season no less. thats the difference between kobe and others.
This dude had 12 three's in one game in 2003. Beast mode status. This should've been another 50 point game for his career. Only candidate I see possibly surpassing that mark is Steph Curry. Kobe is the most offensively skilled player in NBA history. No one can do it better.
+Zack W. steph has two 11 3 pointer game
+Naran Erdemsuren Damn didn't realize he had two. I was aware of one. Then I guess it's only a matter of time then. Probably this year.
he is capable of 15+ three pointers he is a monster when i see other people shooting threes and then see Steph shoot damn he is veeery different there is no one like him in the league EVER
+Naran Erdemsuren
depends on the stamina, you know steph curry takes a lot of crossover, behind the back, step-back and running around screen just to get a 3.
+Setsuna Seie Well thats his fault ain't it. That means he's over dribbling. But he can shoot
Kobes Prime is the greatest to ever touch the basketball, no question
jesus. so in less than a quarter and a half, Kobe hit ELEVEN 3's. No other player in history could do that.
Kobe the GOAT
kobe makes it look so easy, he and paul pierce are the smoothest players that ever played. but kobe is possibly the best.
I remember watching this game. this season he didnt have a shoe deal so he wore different brands every game. Kobe is that guy!
kobe, the best to ever play the game
why is kobe bryant not considered as a sharpshooter as one of the best shooter of all time
Kobe the great!!
EPIC PERFOMANCE
7:01 YESSSSSSSS LOL. KOBE is the GREATEST...my fav NBA player of all-time.
Indeed Donyell Marshall shared that record (12/19 from 3pt range vs Phila in march 2005.
Kobe's game was far more impressive: he made 9 straight threes (NBA record), 11 of 13 at one moment!
Marshall scored 38pts (to Kobe's 45) and needed one more shot (19 to Kobe's 18).
here to remember you this comment
dunks like the one at :29 i would not have thought were too spectacular with how he spoiled us in his young years... now that he has slown down in the dunk department, i can enjoy dunks like that one so much more
kobe is really unbeliavable! i hope he wins more championship
03 Kobe best year from 3
If I played in the NBA, I would refuse to hold Kobe.
I've heard that somebody said to Kobe before the game "hey Kobe, my grandma is a better 3point shooter than you"
after that he wrote history :-)
KOBE BRYANT HE IS ON FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This was during that period where he left Adidas and was "auditioning". He's wearing the Iverson rookie shoes here. I miss watching prime Bryant. Y'all need to appreciate what you've watched, 'cause when he's gone we're not gonna see another one like him.
i miss this kobe and these lakers
LAKERS 4 LIFE!!!!!!!!
Kobe OWNS the NBA
Kobe isnt a Jordan wannabe, Kobe is KOBE, thats why he's a 3 time NBA champ and thats why he's going for his 4th champ right now, that's why eceryone talks about Kobe and Kobe bc he's KOBE, the best player in the world, he's unstoppable, Queen James still isnt in the lvl of Kobe, he will need prolly all his NBA career to be in Kobe's lvl.
Would’ve had atleast 3 more 3’s if Phil would’nt have taken Kobe out with 4 mins left in the game!!! “MAMBA” There goes that man!!!
jeez.. 36 points using only the three..
LEGEND
Kobeeeee
kobes stroke looks more pure now
i love the announcer hes like"Kobeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Bryant"
kobe, what can you say he's the g.o.a.t.
Kobe oh me o my he has meat on his game for days
you ve got some great videos man, keep up the good work
he shouldve been mvp that year
even right now, i wont be surprised if he was an angel
only in kobe games where how much a player scores matters while everyone losses focus on who wins the game.
curry broke his record but it took him OT and he's quote on quote the greatest 3 point shooter ever. Kobe got taken out half way through the 4th quarter.
The 13 year old record is no more 😔
Jay Carlos yaahh😭😭😭I Miss Kobeee!😭💔
What’s the record now
Black Jesus 13 Steph last year
R.I.P. Kobe Bryant
sad sad day when this man retires
The best part is when Kobe Bryant makes a 3 pointer
i always fail to get these kobe-jordan debates. Everytime i watch a kobe clip, i see somebody bringing up jordan. Jordan is his own man and is respected for what he did, he was a great player and still is lol. Kobe is also his own man, he's a great player for what hes doing in the nba now. jordan did his thing and now kobe's doing his just leave it at that
Hey Lakers fan don't worry, Ariza and Bynum is coming back next year, we will be restored to our throne as the greatest team in the league as of today. We don't need shaq, we got Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe. Or u can just say MVP, MVP, MVP, MVP. Lakers 4 life.
Wilt's playoff memories (or should I say nightmares) are in Bill Russell's trophy case.
MJ had the scariest fallaway shot, just too nasty but Kobe and Dirk crediffucult shots in the game and they work well, always respect to MJ the god of basketball and Kobe The God's son.
i can't believe in 4:30, the sonics left him wide open for that 3 after kobe broke the franchise record!!! they left him wide open!!!
Old games used to be so much better than now.
hell kobe will make the next finals 3pointer record
He's ot a 3 point specialist, but he's a good 3 point shooter.....he's just a good jumpshooter from anywhere.
kobe the best!!!
kobe is cutting back right now on his scoring he changed his style of play 3 different times he and melo were the true mvps
This happened 20 years ago today,
@Amgbenz0
I agree with you on all points except quickness, Jordan was lightening speed,
he could drive to the hoop easier and with his leaping ability/hangtime, thats what made Jordan superior
as well as his post moves. Kobes better long range for sure.
If I were in the NBA I would refuse guarding him
The amazing part about this is before this game, Kobe was 1-10 from downtown.
come here after curry's magnificent performance
yeah...I like him too, he is the best right now, but Curry doesn't have what Kobe had in those good old days.
+rambosexy2009 Yes indeed, I am the biggest Kobe fan. Curry plays in a different way, but to me Kobe is more entertaining and dominant in both ends of floor.
+张瀚元 true that,bro.
Epic
calm down kobe calm down man damn
this mans holds the record for most 3's ever hit in a game & he's not even a 3 point shooter
My 2 cents here.. Thanks to Jordan himself the game has grown at an exponential rate. The number of people globally and nationally has skyrocketed and we are seeing the effects in the high level of parity in the NBA. Had someone with Kobe's talent gone up against the same defenders as in MJ's era I believe he would have put up identical numbers. Same as if MJ were to play in todays NBA with numbers comparable to Kobe's. Kobe/MJ/Shaq my 3 fav players and watched each religiously-3 of the best
At 2:34 the supreme confidence of Kobe to pass up a fast break dunk to shoot a three...priceless!
because he s GOD of basketball
Comparisons are good, but so many people get caught up in which player is better that they miss the beauty in all of the greats' games
Stephen A. Smith: "Kobe Bryant is the best NBA player. He will defend your best player. He will shoot from the perimeter".
HE COULD OF MADE MORE BUT THE CORNER SHUT HIM DOWN
And its vs Ray Allen, who was considered the best 3 point shooter at that time,(and still is one of)
Kobe in the mid 2000s was not human some games.
wow lakers front office should have watch this game cuz the person that was guarding kobe was vlad rad... and everyone knows that vlad cant guard anyone to save his own life! and vlad rad got torched by kobe, and now lakers have vlad rad on the team...this game was one of the best games to watch with kobe in it. kobe is truly a gifted and an amazing player, trying to enjoy being a laker fan and kobe fan before he retires...kobe is simply the best player in the nba for the last 5 years.
he hit 11 total three's in 2 quarters (2nd & 3rd)... CRAZY
LOL@Kobe doing his airplane thing at 4:21 the same way as when he buried the Suns in the WCF this year.
I sure do miss my Sonics.
haha I remember that game it didn't seem like he would not miss , it really was the case that he didn'nt miss^^
el mejorrrr
Driving to the rim with everything, have you even seen Jordan play? His crossover is unrivaled. Watch his 1997 playoff highlights (the assassin)
Kobe takes 50 shots a game, that why it might APPEAR he is a good 3 point shooter but he isn't consistent AT ALL. hes never had over a .380 3 pt percentage. Jordan peaked at .500. Jordan also has a higher FG percentage and probably a better or equal mid range game. He wins in all categories.
kobe.lebron < jordan
@r0ckazs KB8 is a more explosive player. But KB24 is a more wise, unselfish, team player. Kobe doesn't need to score 45 a game to win anymore. He has a good team.
Kobe is certainly the most skilled offensive player, arguably the most complete as well. His biggest downside is taking bad shots. Not that this changes anything on the whole Kobe vs MJ thing, because MJ shoots at a higher percentage than Kobe and it's the results produced on the court that matters.
in summary: MJ is the best at creating an easy shot while Kobe is the best at taking very tough shots.
I agree but Kobe also beat more 50 plus win teams than MJ and lebron combined
whats up man nice to see ya here lol
And he did it in questions
90 points for jordan? nah. Try to make 81 first!
@demond557 Kobe deserves at LEAST 2 more MVP's
kobe bryant left the game with 4:10 remaining!!!! he could had more.
I like the part after Kobe misses where Stu says what!!!??? take him out of the game, you can't have a guy on the floor that can't make an open three LOL
god
@TheDivineProvidence kobe is 48% including 3s ? where do u get the stats from ? or i should say you made it up ? LOL ?
@XBlackRose023X I know the and 1 play is worth 3 points if you make your free throw. but i was just curious if it counted as one of the 3 point shots that broke the record. And ps...about why kobe switched from #8 to 24...i heard cuz he said that he wanted to represent everything. he said "there are 24 hours in a day. 24 seconds in a clock shot." and he also said that 24 is one more than MJ...idk if that was a shot or a compliment lol
I dont give a fuck what anyone says, kobe is just as good as jordan ever was, im not guna say either was better tho. I watched both these dudes in their prime and although jordans midrange shot was scary how accurate it was, kobe is just a better all around shooter, a little quicker in his prime then jordan, almost as good a dunker, but most importantly, kobe hit by far the most high difficulty shots EVER, even now. Hes just fuckin amazing.
should have kept him in, he was indestructible back then. no risk.
wat year was this?
Imagine kobe only shot off screens like curry hed shoot 50% plus
Kobe Is in eight place for top 10 players of all time. Get your facts right
@Smokehn12 amen brotha amen
and also unaware of the other 4 players on his team
what about dropping 81 points in a game ? who else in the league has done that ?
@Dunking14
Who's number 2?
GOAT = kb24
@XBlackRose023X he switched because he wanted to one up mj, kobes a superstar, superstars dont just switch numbers because theyre nice
how many shots did he take?
hes got another 3 years in him. thatll be 16 years!
jordan was in the league for 14.
does kobe still have this record?
@demond557
also in the 2005-2006 season
NBA 2K16 has the record at 13 by Damian Lilliard but apparently its in game and not real life. I guess I need to catch up lol
